Got a 1917 Buffalo today.

[treasurefiend]

I started a box of nickels yesterday but I only got about half way thru them, my back was killin me. I finished them up tonight, I was thinking to my self"man I wish I could find a V nickel" and out comes a buffalo!!! At first I thought it didn't have a date, but I cleaned some gunk off of where the date is supposed to be. If turned in the right light I can see a 17. The date is almost all gone but I can see it!!! The front has a lot of cuts on the Indian's head, like somebody took a pizza cutter to it and went across it 10 times. The back side is nice, you can read all of the words no problem. I also found 21 other pre 1960's, the oldest Jefferson today was a 1940. So this makes Buffalo #4 for me!!! Now I just have to find me a V nickel!!! I almost forgot, I found a "2003 Espana 5 Euro Cent" in my nickel box too.

I also went through a penny box and got 11 Wheaties. The oldest one is from 1928. In the penny box I also got an aluminium 1991 Lietuva 1 centas. HH
